THE PoTTERs AND THEIR p1ckrNes

Another OF the great families in New York ia inst
now being talked about through the death OF its
head, Bishop Potter. The Potter family must feel
rather lonely now that it has only one bishop left
in its ranks. Its first bishop was AlOnzO POUter of
Pennsylvania; he was the father OF the late Clark
son Potter, Howard Potter, the banker, and EliDha
Potter Is the father OF James B. Potter whose wife
Is said to be studying for the stage in Paris.
The second bishop was Bishop Horat1o Potter OF
the diocese or New York, who died on Sunday at
the advanced age Of eighty live years. He leaves
two daughters and one son, who is professor in a
southern university. A third bishop is Henry
Goldman Potter, also SON OF Bishop AlOnzO Pot
ter, and lately The assistant bishop OF the diocese
OF New York. He Is now in some out-of-t he-Way
spot In Spain, where cablegrams have failed to
reach him.
The chances are that President Potter will be a
bishop before he dies. He is the handsomeSt man
OF the l0t, mas distinguished presence and is an
eloquent speaker. he was made president or
Union college when only thirty -One years OF age
and the dinculties he got into there were probably
due to his youth and tnexperience. He Is DOUG
better as president OF Hobart college.

fornia from the several stables con-
sisted of string of 54 from Haggin's
II from Baldwin's from Todhunter's ;
5 from Holly's; 8 each from Palo Alto
and McCarthy's, and l from the "Cali-
fornia" stables. The number of sin
which these horses were started (down
to September 10th) was 357, one hun
dred and five of which were won by
them. Haggin's runners won 81
races in 247 starts, while Baldwin's IS
horses won A races in but 140 starts.
The horses from McCarthy's stable
started % times during the season,
coming in but three times first. The
horses from the Palo Alto farm g
stable started in four events, as did
also those from the California stables,
but the nearest they came to winning
was second place. Todhunter's horses
won three races in ~ starts. The
winnings of all the horses in the diff
ferent California stables combined
would exceed in value over half q
million dollars.

The Eyening Express is afflicted
with loathsome rabies. The object
of its rage is the Democracy and the
great men of that party who have
"won golden opinions from all sorts
of people," Like the Chourinear that
sees everything it hates red, the eyes
of our contemporary become blood
shot when it throws its venom at
Democrats and Democracy. The ma
MIA might become hurtful did it not
develop another phase. 1t takes to
the slums for it's vocabulary, and deals
in a language only known to the BAN
lieus of journalism. In this way 1t
defeats it's object, and turns, like a
scorpion, its sting upon itself. Where
decently-clothed invective might ar
rest attention, low-fung billingsgate
only serves to disgust. The polecat is
not left alone for nothing. When a
newspaper describes one-half the
American people as chimpanzees, the
other half naturally feel that such an
insult can only come from a very
dwarfed and very gnarled specimen OF
the human intellect.

craft sailed the seas which could hold
a candle to the American built clip
per ship. She was a beauty, and
many an American boy when he saw
her pass felt his heart leap up in his
throat as he repeated the lines
"Oh, how she cut the deep blue sea
That glittered in the sun!
How gay a sailors life must be
wish that were onel"
If we could repeal the barbarous laws
governing shipbuilding and ship own
ing, which are kept in force for the
sake Of few men down in Maine, we
would again own merchant marine,
and we would again raise a race OF
hardy seamen who would hold the
seas against combined world. Ah,
we'll we have a Democratic govern
ment once more and are to have a
navy worthy the
"Brave days of DID,"
On board these new cruisers and
gun boats the sailor boy will again
learn to tread deck with glowing
cheeks as he recalls the Lawrences,
the Decaturs, the Perrys, Wilkeses
| and other naval heroes who made the
stars and stripes so glorious in all the
seas of the globe.

THE Republican press, and individ-
uals of that political bias-old women
all, some in petticoats and some in
pantaloons, mostly the later; for wo-
men know that such language as was
used toward the President would JUS
/ tify his wife snubbing the person who
uttered the insult-are still greatly
exercised over the alleged slight Mrs.
Cleveland treated Governor and Mrs.
Foraker to. In order to end the dis
cussion, supposing We say she proba-
ably did snub the Forakers. She had
a right to snub them if she felt dis
posed to do it, She was in some re-
spects bound to snub them. They
ought to be snubbed. Foraker has
approved himself to be first-class
blackguard, mendacious and per-
sonally abusive, when he should
be truthful, respectful, intelligent and
logical in the discussion of great ques-
tions before a great people whose suf-
frages he is seeking. When he de-
scended from this high plane of ar
gument to refer in disrespectful terms
to Mr.. Cleveland's personal appear
ance, and to talk of 'dirty Democratic
tobacco spit," he put himself forward
in role which earns a snub at the
hands of all respectable people. Shall
we have done with this Foraker and
his hoodlum style of rhetoric, or shall
we hear more of his choice figures of
speech, and Of his personal matters as
to how he is received in public?

A Bureau of Information.

Some days since we published an
article calling attention to the difficult
ty experienced in all portions OF Los
Angeles county in obtaining efficient
labor on farms, girls for housework, or
mechanics to build houses and perform
work in other trades. The HER
AID, which is journal of very large
circulation, receives back this reply;
HoPKINsvILLE, Christian Co., Ky.,l
September 81, 1887.
SIR: In the issue of the Los An
geles HERALD of September 3, 'S7, is
an editorial headed: Labor Wanted. ;"
Will you be kind enough to send me
the names of some of your farmers
who would be likely to hire young
men. OF course, managing a crop in
California is very different from Ken
lucky farming, but there are plenty of
intelligent, honest, industrious young
men, and women also, who would be
glad to come to Los Angeles county if
they knew they could get employment
as soon as they get there. 1t costs a
good deal to purchase ticket to Cali
fornia from this place. There never
was such a drouth in this State as we
are having now, and young men
thrown out of employment by this
means have not the money to pay
passage and then board while hunting
a home.
Now, of course, it is not the func-
ton of newspaper to keep an in
telligence office. Therefore the task
of furnishing list OF names sure to
wa mt man or a woman to work in a
month or two from this date, would
not be possible of execution. If these
young men are capable and willing
they need not wait long for work.
But the best way would be for some
qualified person to open negotiations
with an established information office
in this city. If there are SO many
people in one locality who desire te
come here, good business might be
built up between the two points.
The City Council has before it now
proposition to devote the sum Of
500 monthly to this business of fur
nishing just such information. 1t
would not be at all out of the way for
the County Board of Supervisors to
vote like sum for this, and the re-
suits would fully justify the measure.
Meantime, if any persons here would
like to open negotiations with the
writer of this letter, his name is at
their service by calling at the HER
AID Office.

CALIFORNIA is beginning to be rec
ognized in Europe as the best sani-
tarium on the globe. DIR. Ramsey,
who has charge of the Consumptives'
Hospital at Belfast, Ireland, has re-
Gently published treatise on disease
and the effects of climatic treatment
for it. The book has special reference
to diseases of the respiratory organs,
and he holds that in the treatment of
these air of proper temperature and
moisture is the best remedy. DR..
Ramsey calls special attention to Cali
fornia, and he predicts, from what he
has observed in our State, that this
will soon become renowned in
all parts of Europe for its climate, and
that it will attract many wealthy
invalids, not merely to visit temporari
ly, but to take up their residence here
for the sake of the beneficial effects o
a mild, dry climate.

THE world moves indeed. A Roman
Catholic has been elected Lord Mayor
of London. Men must have made
much progress from the bitter bigotry
which has so long held them apart.
when the corporation Of London can
look complacently on such an event
as this. In the course OF time Europe
will arrive at the happy conditions
under which men worship in America
and then as they kneel at Gods altars
they will not drink in gall against
their fellow men, who worship at {
shrine not built just after the sam'
pattern as theirs.
